Personally I don't trust the Red Cross since the scandal a couple of years ago but Walmart checkout people are instructed to ask customers to donate to the Red Cross for the Harvey relief which is fine since Walmart matches the donation. The President donated a million dollars but I don't make that kind of money so my donation was much smaller and I found a charity that I trust. My wife's pastor personally went to Texas not to minister but to physically help out. My guess is that Christian charities and volunteers might work out better than the FEMA bureaucracy.
